Lorraine Christie Prints: These charming cityscape scenes by painter Lorraine Christie are amongst our our most popular cityscape fine art prints. Christie was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She has lived in the U.S. for over fifteen years and now resides in Roswell, Georgia, USA. Though classically trained in London, Lorraine prefers to be known as “self taught”. Her style and approach to painting is constantly evolving and has moved away from her initial classical background, where she now feels more comfortable to explore and express inner thoughts, as well as the world around her. There is less emphasis placed upon applause from the viewer in regard to technical ability, and she now feels more reward from the viewer feeling emotion or left questioning the content of the piece, perhaps with room for personal reflection on a past or present relationship. She is very closed as to whether these paintings contain any personal or autobiographical element.

If asked, artist Lorraine Christie will explain that her inspiration is both a secret and a mix of extensive travel in Europe where she loves to include classical architecture as the backdrop for the “Shelter for the Soul” featuring figures caught in the rain; a look, longing...a shock of orange, red or yellow in the otherwise misty palette lends life to her mysterious characters. Christie has hit upon a theme that seems to strike the chord of emotion in almost everyone who either meets her in person or views one of her distinctive, accomplished paintings.
